Clipper Ship Comet of New York in a Hurricane Off Bermuda - Vintage Maritime Print a chromolithograph of pure Atlantic violence — the Comet heeled hard against a Bermuda gale, her canvas shredded and her hull pitched into a trough that seems carved from the lithographer's own dread. Every line of rigging insists this was a vessel built for speed, now bargaining with the sea for survival.

About the Source

Bella Frye sources maritime illustrations from American archives and 19th-century lithographic publishers — Currier & Ives, the Endicott firm, Sarony & Major, and the period broadsides that documented American sea power, shipwrecks, yacht races, and naval engagements as they happened. The aged paper tone and the hand-pulled chromolithographic color are preserved in the print.

Materials & Finish

Printed to order in our Pacific Northwest studio on premium 380gsm cotton canvas with archival pigment inks. Hand-finished and framed in our signature ornate frame with verdigris corner detail, available in three finishes:

• Ebony — deep black with carved ornate detailing; dramatic against light walls
• Verdigris — aged copper-green with antique patina; the signature Bella Frye look
• Bourbon — warm walnut tone with ornate relief; rich and historically grounded

Stretched canvas (frameless gallery wrap) is available for those who prefer a frameless presentation.

Where It Belongs

Coastal homes, libraries, captain's rooms, naval offices, yacht clubs, and any space where American maritime history earns wall presence. Pairs naturally with lighthouse engineering drawings, vintage nautical charts, and other documents from the Bella Frye Maritime & Light Stations collection.
